Corn Off Early Lows But Still Weaker at Midday

Corn futures fell 2 to 4.5 cents in the front months, with the CmdtyView national average cash corn down 1 cent to $4.13 1/4. Crude oil weakened by $1.56 as Middle East tensions cooled after a post from President Trump, putting modest downward pressure on commodity prices. Moves are small and appear driven by a geopolitical risk repricing rather than material supply or demand changes.
